Fibrament and Gas BBQ
So now that the weather has turned ridiculously hot I want to start making pizza outside on our gas bBQ. I have 2 fibrament stones and would like to use one in the BBQ. I've contacted fibrament and inquired about their flame diverters - the are only willing to sell me one and not tell me what it is made of. Are these absolutely required? Is it anything more than a 1/16" thick piece of aluminum cut to fit? Can anyone with one or knowledge chime in? Thanks. 500+ oven in the middle of summer is not much fun for us.

...with propane/air mixtures reach 1980F. The fibrament claims a 1500F as it's maximum continuous operating temp. Allumium alloys melt in the neighborhood of 1200F. I'd recommend steel plate and a spacer for the stone to rest upon for the diverter.

I bake my pizza directly on the grate of the grill. Don't need a stone, and you get a direct, smoky char on the crust. Delicious with some simple ingredients. Give it a try. No, the dough does not slip through the grates.
